Mason died on Monday   We bricked him in the wall   All his children grew and grew   They ain't never grew so tall before   They may never grow so tall again      We dug him up on Tuesday   He hardly aged a day   Taught us all we ever knew   We ain't never knew so much before   We may never know so much again      Mason was a mighty man   A mighty man was he   Always said, "When I'm dead and gone   Don't you weep for me"      The wall collapsed on Wednesday   We chalked it up to fate   All his children ran in fear   They ain't never hear it so well before   Swore they'd never show their face again      Thursday came then Friday   With buyers tall and bright   Mason's children cooked the stew   And cleaned up when the feast was through   Swore they'd never [Incomprehensible] before      Take me to the repo man   To pay back what was owed   If he's in some other land   Write it off as stole      Take me to the repo man   To pay back what was owed   If he's in some other land   Write it off as stole
